Best horror movies you've ever watched?

The people master

09-06-18

I think the horror movie(s) that played the most pivotal role is capturing my love for the genre are:

Friday the 13th Series - A hockey masked killer wielding a machete was f***ing scary when I was 14 years old drinking iced-coffee after 11pm.
Halloween - The blank canvas killer that is Michael Myers...A face that haunts you in your sleep.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Sheer brutality and the messed up nature of this movie still freaks me out.

Some other notable mentions...

The Hills Have Eyes
Psycho
The Shining

This is just a few. ...
My Bloody Valentine (1981)
The Uninvited (1944)
Sennetuntsche (Swiss Horror)
Sauna (Finnish History/Horror)
The Heirloom (2005 Taiwanese Horror)

And a lot of mainstream Bloomhouse films
movies by James Wan
movies by Leigh Whannell

whether you agree with me or not... this is still my opinion.

Well these are a few.
1. The Shining
2. The Texas Chainsaw Masscare
3. The Conjuring

I'm now excited for The Nun. Hope it turns out to be good.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the '74 original) still remains my all-time favorite these days.

This year's Trench 11, Along Came the Devil and Boarding School really surprised me at how good they were.
Return of the Living Dead
The Lift (Dutch horror film about elevators causing death)
It (both the 1990 and the 2017 film)
Demons (Lamberto Bava's 1985 classic about moviegoers who either turn into the titular demons or fight to survive)

I've never been big into The Shining. The Exorcist is better.

This might just do nobody any good.

A father�s neglectfulness and violent attitude blown up to its extremes through alcoholism don�t do it as a horror film basis?

I'd recommend Honeymoon (2014) as a really good, unsettling horror film. It has everything I think.

Not my favorite genre but I thought Blair Witch Project and the Ring were pretty scary/suspensful

Hi friends! �Quiet Place� is a good horror movie with some great atmosphere, sound design and special effects. I saw this movie in theatre along with my wife and must say that it met all my expectations. As we both like horror movies and therefore we always try to watch horror movies in accompany of each other. I greatly recommend everyone to see this.

The exorcist is the best horror movie I've seen.

A lot of people think it's a bit slow and dated, but I think the best way to defend my choice is to point out how the entire movie is about extremes. Quiet and noisy, dark and white, the beginning which is in Iraq, to the other extreme of your average American city (Georgetown). The innocent young girl vs. the demon possessed, the young priest and the old, the famous movie star and the single mother who has a possessed daughter. The young priest who has lost his faith, to the old priest who has more than faith, but actual certainty that good and evil exist.

I grew up in a shore town and seeing "The Birds" as a kid shook me. Flocks of birds still make me uncomfortable.

I will go slightly off topic and not focus on well known films like Exorcist, Psycho, Shining etc that everyone has seen or at least knows about and will throw some true gems your way for anyone interested.

Vacancy
The Cremator (Czech)
[Rec]2
Green Room
Jacob's Ladder
I sell the dead (comedy horror)
Open Grave
You're Next
The Dead (2010)
Pandorum
The Human Race
The Mist
Dellamorte Dellamore

Granted, some of those I haven't seen for many years, but I still remember fondly.
